I Must Be In California!

I took a road trip to L.A. a couple weeks ago, and I must say it was quite amazing stuff. Disneyland and California Adventure were okay, I think I appreciated the Beach and the Ventura Boulevard area more then anything. California is my home, and always will be. The weather is always fantastic, not tooo hott and not tooo cold. And no crazy weather to report 24-7.
One highlight from this fantasmic trip with the family was, being in the audience for 4 shows of "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?". It was quite incredible to see all the behind the scenes and how fake it all is.. haha. I mean c'mon when you PAY people (begining actors and actresses) to LOOK good in the audience (8.00 and hour), you realize how pathetic it really is.. well.. thats show buisness for ya! We were not paid... haha my dad said he felt used, like a sponge. We signed up for the tickets online which is free, so oh well.
One to more important news, school started for muah. I don't have a huuge work load so I'm happy. I had a job over the summer, at a Preschool. Teacher Assistant to be more specific. It was quite a memorbale experience that I will never forget.. especially the changing 12 diapers a day part. Haha, I loved those kids though. I'm looking for another job now.. preferably in the El Dorado Hills area.. so wish me luck! I've been researching into interning wih a Occupational Therapy job. Who knows, anyways I don't really know what else to write besides I accidently changed the backround of the blog, so forgive me. I was up late one night and was trying to fix one thing and ended up erasing everything, so this is why there is a new back round.

Peace Bloggers,
Until next time...

"Are you out there Where the rainy days begin To feel rather sad And the walls are closing in Like the darkness around me It’s so hard to look away When the daylight doesn’t ever stay Above this dull apartment view Oh, I will surround you It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here So I’ll devise a plan And cut out a door in my new living room floor The porch light is so bright That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape Of the rusty fire escape I bought a one way ticket ‘Cause I knew I’d never see the ground Unless I was aboard a jet plane And we were going down When I wiped the tears from my eyes The warm water took me by surprise And I woke up beside the ocean I realized I must be in California Aloha, my happy West Coast friends Do you feel alive When the breaking waves arrive And wash all around you The beach homes and ocean side Are quite well known by the evening tide And we can sleep where we reside With redwoods around us The blue air is up there And could I bring it down I’d bottle it up, and save it for a sweet summer night I bought a one way ticket ‘Cause I knew I’d never see the ground Unless I was aboard a jet plane And we were going down When I wiped the tears from my eyes The warm water took me by surprise And I woke up beside the ocean I realized I must be in California I must be in California Am I awake or is this just a dream? The new year is out here And I will make a lovely list Of your charms So I’ll never feel alone in your arms I must be in California I must be in California I must be in California"
